YELLOW FEVER DANGER TO H.K.

Airways Take Precautions Against Introducing Disease

NEW PROCESS

DISINSECTISES

PLANE IN FLIGHT

London, Oct. 28.

"IF yellow fever ever reached Asin from Africa, there wouldn't be enough left living to bury the dead," is a grisly statement that has been made so often since air travel brought Africa and Asia within a few days of each other that it has lost a great deal of its effect.

The statement has now lost much of its truth too, as the possibility of such a calamity-always remote, on account of precautions taken at aerodromes--will recede even further as a result of a system Imperial Airways have perfected of disinsectising their machines in flight.

PLAGUE CARRIERS DOOMED

There are two methods of carry- In the disease from Africa to Asla by air, namely by an infected hu man being or an infested nosquito and the new system ensures that a mesqulto in the plane cannot even survive as far as the next stop.

The device is similar to that nuw London employed by many large hospitals for disinfecting their wards.

It condris of a portable vapor- ising machine which permeates the atmosphere with a pyrethrum In- secticide.

Both the equipment and the inste ticide have been especially adopted for use in aircraft. The equipment In constructed of light-weight metal, and water is used as a base for the insecticide instead of paratin.

IN A FEW MINUTES As in the hospitals a ward sin be disinfected in a few minutes while patients are Hill in their beds, so a enbin of the flying-bonts can by use of this system be thoroughly dain- sectised in light, without disconfort to the passengers or damage to the unholstery and fittings of the alr craft.

IT IS UNDERSTOOD that Mr. Paul McNutt,

Commissioner to the Philippine Islands, has asked President Roosevelt's permission to return to the United States at the President's pleasure and convenience.

It is learned that a reply has been sent, but the contents of the communication are not disclosed.

Mr. McNutt suggested in his re-

quest that in view of the European pacification and relaxation in world tension, it might be timely for him to return to America.
